PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Crocup (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pekka Perkele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perkele has chosen Impaled Nazarene - Hardboiled And Still Hellbound as his entrance music. Michael Crocup looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
